    A third man has been named as a suspect in the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury last year.

    Investigative website Bellingcat claims that he is Denis Vyacheslavovich Sergeev, a Russian military intelligence officer.

    It says he came to the UK at the same time as two suspects alleged to have carried out the March 2018 attack.

    The website claims the officer travelled internationally under the pseudonym Sergey Fedotov.

    MI6 double agent Sergei Skripal, 67, and his daughter Yulia, then 33, were poisoned with a nerve agent known as novichok in Salisbury. Both of them survived.

    Two Russian nationals have so far been named as suspects.

    Anatoliy Vladimirovich Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin have been linked to the Russian military intelligence agency GRU.

    The Kremlin has not commented on the latest report but it has previously expressed doubts over Bellingcat's reports about Mr Chepiga and Mr Mishkin.

    etc.
